Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if a 9 cm uterine fibroid definitely requires surgery?Doctor's answer:
A 9-cm uterine fibroid is already considered a very large one. If the fibroid is smaller than 5 cm, it already meets the surgical indication. In this case, it is necessary to have surgery as soon as possible. Leaving it untreated is meaningless, and there is also a possibility of malignancy. It is essential to consider undergoing surgery at a large, top-tier Grade III hospital in your local area to resolve the issue.Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. Patients should pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
